High-spin states have been studied in neutron-deficient Xe-114(54), populated through the Ni-58(Ni-58,2p) fusion-evaporation reaction at 230 MeV. The Gammasphere gamma-ray spectrometer has been used in conjunction with the Microball charged-particle detector in order to select evaporation residues of interest. The yrast band has been greatly extended to a tentative spin of 52 (h) over bar and show

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen handlar om hur kön görs i en av det sociala arbetets praktiker, nämligen missbrukarvården. Socialt arbete kan förstås som en normaliserande praktik som ger uttryck för samhällets normer och värderingar. Dess syfte är att fostra och anpassa människor så att de passar in i samhället. Under senare år har intresset för att synliggöra och hantera könsfråThe aim of this dissertation is to use intersectional analysis to investigate how gender is made in drug abuse treatment and to examine how the formation of gender interplays with the formation of sexuality, class and ethnicity. Central questions are: What gender(s) are to be shaped in druge abuse treatment? What happens to a gender perspective with emancipatory ambitions when it is incorporated i

This thesis analyses the renegotiation of Swedish national identity in newspapers’ coverage of the Olympics of 1912. The “sun-shine Olympics”, as Swedes have come to term the event, idealises early twentieth-century Sweden and early sports events. Researchers have shown that this era was far from idyllic in Sweden: it was characterised by various battles concerning the proper national community. N

A speech data packet loss concealment algorithm based on pitch period repetition is presented and a novel low complexity method to refine a pitch period estimate is introduced. Objective performance measurements show that this pitch refinement improves the quality of packet loss concealment. Hardware-software codesign techniques have been investigated to implement the algorithm. Using a coprocesso

We review the current knowledge on biodiversity in soils, its role in ecosystem processes, its importance for human purposes, and its resilience against stress and disturbance. The number of existing species is vastly higher than the number described, even in the macroscopically visible taxa, and biogeographical syntheses are largely lacking. A major effort in taxonomy and the training of a new ge

The aims of the studies in the thesis were; 1.to investigate incidence, risk factors in comparison to non lacunar stroke patients, initial course and long term prognosis in pure motor stroke (PMS) 2.to determine topography and most probable pathogenetic mechanism of lesions in sensorimotor stroke (SMS). 3.to study if diffusion weighted magnetic resonance tomography(DWI) contribute to a more precis

In trying to understand any aspect of success and failure in information systems practice, concepts of organisational analysis become increasingly important. Many issues arise and must be dealt with when an information system is to be developed and implemented. In order to avoid information system failures information system analysts should adopt an approach, which exploits the intrinsic and conte
